M-shaped mind

An M-shaped mind (or M-shaped skills) describes a person who has multiple areas of deep expertiseconnected by broad general knowledge across different fields. Unlike an I-shaped specialist (one deep skill) or a T-shaped thinker (one deep skill plus broad knowledge), an M-shaped mind thrives on interdisciplinary mastery and connecting dots between unrelated subjects. [123]
